It is about a 1.5 mile hike to the work site south of Bufo Lake.
The work site is in the Rainbow Lakes Wilderness Area, so power tools cannot be used.
In case of forecasted inclement weather or other circumstances, a notification of cancellation will be sent by the evening of October 10 to those who have confirmed attendance with Derek. The alternative workday in the case of cancellation will be October 12.
